Similar to Dragon’s Dogma 2 ahead of Dark Arisen, Capcom has announced a permanent price drop for Monster Hunter Wilds starting August 3rd, 5 PM PT.
But that’s not all. The Deluxe Edition, Premium Deluxe Edition and Cosmetic DLC Pass will also be discontinued. In their place will be the Gold Edition, Cosmetic DLC Collection and Extras Cosmetic DLC Pack. Capcom has provided a useful chart with the differences, and if you happened to purchase Cosmetic Pack DLC 3 or 4, or any of the seasonal DLC, you might want to sit down for this, as the Gold Edition includes all of them.
Those who already own the base game can pick up the Cosmetic DLC Collection for all the extras. Whether they’ll cost less than the older bundles remains to be seen, but given the lackluster post-launch sales for Monster Hunter Wilds, it wouldn’t be surprising if we see some reductions.
Of course, the main reason for this change is to lower the bar of entry for the upcoming Ascendance expansion, out sometime in 2027. It adds the Skybound Eyrie locale, the new Boost Bracer, new weapon skills, and some new and returning monsters to hunt. Head here for the latest details.
